Dustin H. Chinn

Dustin H. Chinn (the H is for Humongous) was born in Seattle at an early age. After graduating from Garfield High (former students include Bruce Lee and Jimi Hendrix), he enrolled in the Honors Program at Seattle University, where the Jesuit priests trained him in the deadly philosophical and literary arts.
It was during this time that Dustin immersed himself in the local Asian American political and theatre scene by interning for the Northwest Asian Weekly newspaper and Northwest Asian American Theatre (NWAAT). His connections with the latter led to roles with NWAAT, the Repertory Actors Workshop (ReAct), as well as the "11:07" late night comedy series.

After two years of college he transferred to Cornell University, where he majored in English lit and continued to hone his stagecraft. Dustin's collegiate career culminated with China Night 1998, where he led a pirate crew of Asian American Playhouse actors in a successful coup of the Chinese Student Association's annual cultural show.

After a graduating with a B.A. in B.S., Dustin returned home to Seattle. He fell back into theatre, first with a few ReAct productions, then with sketch comedy, writing and acting for Pork Filled Players. Determined to move to NYC, he temped for several months, including stints with the Seattle Mariners baseball team and Harborview Medical Center Urology department (where their motto is "You Can't Play With the Big Dogs If You Pee Like A Puppy"). Dustin moved to New York in the summer of U99. Following an excruciating apartment search, he found a wonderful flat in Jackson Heights, Queens, where he enjoys cheap rent and his landlady's soups and is now a force to be reckoned with as a member/producer for the New York Asian American sketch.theatre group, Peeling, [from whose website which we stole this bio].

Richard Sloniker

Leilani B. Wollam (actor/designer/director)

Usually an actor, she has found directing to be both challenging and enlightening. It has always been in her nature to tell people what to do (just ask Craig). She was last seen on stage in Gold Watch at NWAAT and has worked technically with Civic Light Opera, Center Stage Theatre, NWAAT, the Actors Playhouse in NY and the Zephyr in New York. Special thanks to Cyndie for the opportunity to take this bunch on and very special thanks to Craig. Without his support, none of this would be possible.
